Dogs for Adoption in Rockwood, TN: 17 Dogs Looking for a Home

For all you hound lovers out there, Hank the hound has finished his heartworm treatment and is ready to find his forever home. Even for a hound lover, 1½-year-old, 45-pound Hank is special. He has the big, liquid, brown hound eyes, those long silky hound ears and, of course, the ever curious and adorable hound nose. But he is also so much more. Hank is housetrained, gentle and very affectionate, gets along with other dogs, cats, children of all ages and is easy on the leash, although he does get excited if he sees a deer, a skunk, another dog etc. He is not a barker unless the Amazon delivery person stops by to deliver a package.

Hi, my name is Lady. I am a 3-year-old black Lab. I am in foster in Knoxville, Tennessee, from Texoma Dog Ranch Rescue in Texas. I was stressed out at the Dog Ranch being in kennels all the time and around a lot of loud dogs, so I was lucky enough to find a foster. I am a really sweet and smart girl.
I weigh 54 pounds, and I have been spayed and fully vetted, and even have a health certificate. I will come with 3 months heartworm preventative and 3 months flea and tick control. I know some basic commands, and I am house-trained and crate-trained. And I do not get on the furniture.

Bart and Spot are brother and sister, just under a year old as of late August, 2026. They were rescued from the road and have been fully vaccinated, had Bravecta in late June, and are on Interceptor Plus for heartworm prevention.They have been spayed and neutered as well.
They are medium-sized, possible Lab mixes, but smaller, and are at their full adult size at about 30 pounds each. They are mostly housetrained, but still have occasional accidents, mainly because they don't get taken out often enough.
Bart and Spot have a wonderful, sweet disposition with me and love human contact.

Harley needs a fresh start. ❤️
This isn't because Harley isn't a good dog. It's because life changed.
Her family no longer has a yard, and the stress of sharing space with a senior dog battling cancer has become too much for everyone. Harley deserves a home where she can simply be Harley.
She's a 4-year-old, spayed Pit Bull who absolutely adores people—especially kids. She's the kind of dog who wants to be touching you at all times, whether she's snuggled under a blanket on the couch or giving her goofy little "love nibbles" while she's covering you in kisses.
Harley is potty trained, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and is up to date on vaccines.

Trixie says Hi! Trixie is always happy to meet someone new, greeting everyone with a hearty tail wag. She is an approximately 10-year-old All-American mix. We don't really know, and she's not telling, but we do know she weighs around 27 pounds and is a great dog in the house with impeccable house manners. She is fully housetrained, doesn't bother a thing in the house, and is a very, very easy keeper. Trixie would do best in a low-key home where she can snooze in the sun and maybe go for a short walk. She will be your little shadow, as she will want to be in the same room with you most of the time.

Hi, I'm Belle! I was born on May 25th, one of six puppies in my litter. I don't remember much from those early days, except that nobody was really watching out for us. My brothers and sisters and I kept wandering into the road — it was scary, and dangerous, and we didn't know any better. Some kind neighborhood kids started keeping an eye on us, making sure we stayed safe. And then one day, a neighbor with a good heart took all of us in. I don't know where I'd be without that kindness.Now let me tell you who I am, because I think I'm pretty special, in my own little way. Not only am I a pretty little girl with speckles on my feet and chest, I'm a watcher.

URGENT: Buddy Needs a Foster Home RIGHT NOW
URGENT: Buddy Needs a Foster Home RIGHT NOW or Forever Home
Hi. I'm Buddy.
I have something to tell you, and I need you to really hear it, because my story has a brand-new chapter.
But first, let me tell you how it started. I did something unforgivable. Something so bad that the people who were supposed to love me forever decided I wasn't worth keeping anymore.
I grew up.
That's it. That was my crime. I was born back in early 2023 and adopted as a wide-eyed puppy who thought he'd finally found his people, his forever family. And for a while, I believed it.

Hi, I'm Harley.
I'm 4 years old, and I never thought I'd be the one looking for a new family. But here I am, and I'm hoping you'll take a moment to get to know me.
Just a little while ago, my whole world was two acres to run and play on. I had space to be a dog — to explore, to zoom around, to just be free. But things changed. My family had to move into a two-bedroom apartment, and suddenly there was no more room to run. It was hard on all of us, especially my best friend, who's older now and doesn't have the patience he used to. I understand. He deserves peace and quiet in his golden years, and I deserve a home where I can be my playful self without stressing him out.
